Failure Mechanism of Landslide with “squeezing-out” deformation

Failure mechanism and soil deformation pattern of soil beneath interfering square footings

In this research, the variation of ultimate bearing capacity, failure mechanism and deformation pattern of soil beneath two closely square footings have been studied using numerical methods. It is assumed that the adjacent footings are constructed on the surface of sand. The presented numerical analyses are based on explicit-finite-difference code, FLAC3D. The elasto-plastic behavior of soil is...

Squeezing lepton pairs out of broken symmetries

We discuss two possible signatures of symmetry breaking that can appear in dilepton spectra, as measured in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The first involves scalar-vector meson mixing and is related to the breaking of Lorentz symmetry by a hot medium. The second is related to the breaking of Furry’s theorem by a charged quark-gluon plasma. Those signals will be accessible to upcoming measu...

Squeezing the Most Out of ATM

Even though ATM seems to be clearly the wave of the future, one performance analysis indicates that the combination of stringent performance requirements (e.g., 10 − 9 cell blocking probabilities), moderate-size buffers and highly bursty traffic will require that the utilization of the network be quite low. That performance analysis is based on asymptotic decay rates of steady-state distributio...

Squeezing the Most out of Traffic Classification

Accurate classification of traffic flows is an essential step for administrators to detect intrusion or malicious attacks, forbidden applications, or simply new applications which may impact the future provisioning of network resources. In this work four major topics are considered in connection with traffic classification activities. First, a novel validation method is proposed for characteriz...
